Treating the water first? Don't you need to treat the water before you start putting it back in?

I don't know if anyone has answered this for you or not. The treating you do to the water is to remove chlorine from it. Chlorine will not instantly kill your fish. I usually put in the dechlorinator after my tank is refilled. I put it directly into the fish tank. 2 years and I haven't had a problem yet :) I have a 30 gallon tank.

No. You have to add water yourself, either with shower hose or bucket. It's not that hard, though.

Yes, now and then. When I top off the water (when water needs to be added to the spa) we add a bit of chlorine just to make sure the added water is clear (because it is well or creek water). And then we wait until the chlorine is dissipated before the enzymes. The other time we use it is after six cycles of enzymes, after the cirri-clean cleaning and we drain the tub and refill...we add chlorine to the new water, wait until it registers totally dissipated...and then the new bottle of enzymes is added.

if there's alot of leaves get them out first And Noooo Add schock accordingly and run pump in filter mode for hours depending on how water looks But first check if PH is good before adding schock

It's the amount of water you add to the chemical solution before you apply it.

I have my filter BEFORE my pressure tank. I really don't know how much difference that makes. My thinking would be to put the coarser filter in front, and the finer one aft. I think that it makes sense to filter MOST of the sediment first and then follow up with a finer filter to clean up what it missed. I am no expert, so take that with a grain of salt, and hopefully someone who is an expert can give better advice. Good Luck!

Depending on where you live the the hardness of the water you must do this on a regular basis or you will have performance problems. I for instance do it at least once a month and the instructions have been given by another reviewer and are in the manual.

You don't pre-soak, you just put the filter in the pitcher and fill with water, then drain a couple of times before using.

Did you cycle a bunch of water through it first like the instructions told you to?

Nope that's just silly. You fill it once and don't have to add water until you go to change it. This tub is AMAZING. Had mine for 3 years and haven't regretted it a bit!

No, you would need to change the water is well. completely different type of system. it's well worth it though!

The pressure is perfect, except during part of the backwash cycle. For the most part, you would not want unfiltered water going into your system anyway I wouldn't think. Ours regenerates at midnight and we haven't seen it as a major problem. Have fun!

Hi Melanie, The everything is included in the water container when you get it. You will have to assemble it, and make sure you read the directions carefully. You have to prime the individual filters before use, but they will work better this way. Also, the first couple gallons you should discard, because of slight residue. And completely rinse all inside chambers after about a week-or two. I love my filter! it made bad water taste good, and its great for preppers because its smaller. Hope this helps!

I leave the pump running until the waterfall freezes...if that happens before I'm able to administer the last Fall dose, I still administer the remaining doses, even without the pump circulating the water, might not be as effective but in my opinion, it's better than not adding the bacterial :)

Yes, you prime it initially to start the suction and then continue to pump in order to remove the water. The water comes out fast and strong once primed.

You can put in your own solutions. But ive found out that water alone works great. It take about three weeks to start see results. I just love my water works.

Add it at the beginning. Get a testing kit to make sure water is safe before adding fish. You can cycle a tank with fish food instead of sacrificing fish. If you can get some media (sponge's, etc. ) from a friends filter to put in your filter it will hasten the process as these will have good bacteria already on them. If you do this it should be ready in a couple weeks. If you do this it is not necessary to wait months on end. Add the live plants right away also as the plants will help the process. Good luck!
